. >> i'm jackie flin the executive director of the a. phillip institute. a couple weeks ago we heard someone describe bayview as a place of peace and safe haven. i hope for peace one day. for all the residents that live there today but just last night with many of my community members i resourced a text about a shoot at third and thomas. a young man was injured so i hope one day we can call bayview our safe haven too. i'm here because our community needed leadership. someone who works well with people and would listen to community concerns and respond to their needs. someone who will inspire our youth to lead. a.p.r.i. is without a doubt an anchor in our community. i'm here because it's disheartening to hear from folks who want a better community but aren't interested in driving economic opportunity for businesses and our youth. you guys are all right. we cannot refuse to acknowledge young people are living and dying in your neighborhood due to sheer neglect. this parcel is vacant because of years of neglect. there are no jobs on the parcel or housing beca
